Writer's POVEleanor stared at Hendrix and his innocent face, throwing all those words at her like they were just casual words "I don't want to do any of all the things you have been mentioning, I just want to eat, then go back to my house. I have questions for you though." The waiter brought the food which looked a little bit funny. It used something that looked like broccoli to form a heart shape on the plate and filled the space within it with chips and sauce."What is so special about this dish that they have to give it such a complicated name?" Eleanor protested. "You are more used to the American dishes around here by being so illiterate when it comes to French food but you know how to French kiss. Did you even pass French In school?"Damn Hendrix, she could, at any point from now, throw her bag on his nose and that big mouth of his. "Whatever. This is a decent place to take your time."Hendrix laughed. "You look so frustrated. Look at those blazing eyes. Beautiful yet psycho. D
Writer's POVEleanor paddled an invisible bicycle in the air with her legs facing the ceiling. Her earphones were tightly firm on her ears while she played candy crush on her phone. She listened and vibed to one of Cardi B's songs that were on her phone, twisting and whining her head and waist. She picked a berry from the tree that was beside her bed and tossed it in her mouth."Hey!" She heard a distant scream from the high volume of her earphone. She removed them and placed them on her neck. She sat up in frustration. "What is it?" She blurted out, not looking at Harrison at all. She had no idea when he entered her room, he must have knocked and she didn't answer it. She ate another berry from the tray beside her and went to sit on her reading chair. "I have been here, calling you several times but you refused to answer me."Eleanor waved a careless hand. "You must have seen that my ears were occupied and I was quite busy. It's easy for you to leave and come back next time. Next t
Writer's POV"So," Eleanor started as she entered through the door. The path was dark and small but it didn't bother Eleanor. "You and Harrison, the other day, I heard you both call each other brothers. Is that true?"Hendrix followed her gently. "He's my twin brother. We were given birth to on the same day as him and we're both from the same mother. I am the outcast, they barely want me in the house because I refused to be like Harrison and choose to do what they wanted me to do. I hate when people dictate to me, yet~""Yet, I always tell you what to do and you never got mad. You were talking about a girl from thirteen years ago the other night when you and Harrison were arguing. Who is she?" Hendrix signed softly."She's someone I would never let go again. I met her when I was a kid and my family left me in the streets. That day, it was raining and she came with an umbrella. She was so tiny and innocent. She tapped my head and asked me to stop crying. You won't believe it if I tell
Writer's POVEleanor crossed her legs and sat down properly on Harrison's lap. Harrison removed the hair band that Eleanor used to pack her hair up, letting her hair fall to her face. He pulled away and smiled at her. "What?" She asked, trying to look at her hair and touch it to see what was so funny about her look."You are gorgeous," he said and laughed. Eleanor pouted. "Don't do that again alright? I'm still mad at you. For now, since you already apologized for what you didn't do directly, I would like to go to the kitchen and cook something. I am starving. You both stressed me a lot and I haven't had any breakfast." She stood abruptly and Harrison stood up with her, following her every movement. "Why…are you following me?" She asked and chuckled. "I simply don't want to lose you anymore. He took her hands and pulled her closer to himself. Setting his hands on her big ass. "Forget about the food, for now, I am more than a meal."Their lips clashed together hungrily. Harrison dug h
Writer's POVSerena cried down to her room and picked up her phone. She dialed Liam's number. It was hard for her to think. Harrison fooled her, he never lost feelings for Eleanor in the first place, he was using her instead to pretend not to. She should have listened to Gabrielle. She should have ended the relationship when Gabrielle said it so real to her face but she was ignorant. Perhaps, the pain she felt now wouldn't have been as much as it is if she weren't still married to Harrison.He showed her his naked body. That dick should be hers, not Eleanor's. How did they even manage to make up and make out within a few minutes? She sighed and tossed her phone on the bed. It was useless. What would Liam do if he heard anyway? There was no way to change Harrison's mind right now. Not she, not Liam, not Gabrielle could change a thing about his feelings for Eleanor.She laid down on her bed and shed flowing tears. Did she love Harrison at all? Everything she did in her life, Liam comma
Writer's POVSerena marched down to the court. "Good morning Mrs. Tolstoy, it's a pleasure to see your pretty face so early in the morning. You should try to smile, spread love," Mrs Miller, the official lawyer that was in charge of her marriage with Harrison, greeted her. Serena wasn't up for greetings. She frowned her face and slammed the document on the lawyer's table. "Nothing is good about the morning, I despise you, it's not a pleasure to meet you and I want the court seal on this document, now!"The lawyer shifted her tiny glasses down her nose a little bit and read through the document with her. "A divorce? You must be kidding. You are married to every woman's dream and you want to get divorced? Why?""You can marry him. All I want is for you to put the seal of the court on this letter. All that would be left is for him to sign it and we would have nothing to do with each other." She wanted to make Harrison sign the letter so badly. The lawyer was wasting too much of her time
Writer's POVEleanor stood up, not minding the fact that she was naked and Harrison was watching. She went to his wardrobe and pulled out a long oversized shirt and put it on. She took one of his neatly folded underwear and wore it like it was hers, to begin with. She combed her hair with her fingers and swiped them to her left shoulder. She walked back to the bed and lay in it, resting her jaw on her palms with her elbow raising her. "I want the full story. Tell me all they do and how they do it, their bad sides and their good sides…I want to know what I'd do and how to behave in certain situations, that's if I get into one with them which would happen soon. I'll soon meet them."Harrison rested his head on his palms and started. "As I said, we have Uncle Henry. He's the eldest in the family and he is calm and relaxed. He is always reserved and he has made it his top priority to care for all his family members. He is the owner of Lionsgate. It's a movie company, I'm sure you know ab
Writer's POVEleanor called Jess the sixth time and she didn't pick up. Jess had changed and she had no reason not to pick Eleanor's call. She tried it again. "The number you are calling is busy and…~""Damnit!" Eleanor hissed. What is going on exactly? "Mom, I have to get home and find out what is happening. I'll reach you and tell you whatever I find, okay?" Her mother nodded. Eleanor kissed her forehead and waved others farewell.She had become a good driver now although she still didn't have a license. She drove wildly down the highway, a lot of things kept running through her mind. For what reason could it be that Father didn't want to pick up her call or Mother's? It's unusual and so not him.She packed her car a little farther away from the house. She got done in haste, stomping with a squeezed face as she approached the house. People walking around avoided her because of how she was dressed and how angry she lookedWhat has made Dad so busy? Nothing should. He had no reason to
The sound of "Here comes the bride" echoed through the church of St Paul. A lot of people were seated in the church, waiting for the bride to come around. Eleanor was in the changing room, fighting her corset with Lina."Damn, this is tight. I could have chosen a much better dress. All in the name of fashion. What if I fail to breathe and I faint in front of my husband? Ish.""If you fail to breathe, I will pour you water. Just in case.""Emill," Lina warned."What? Have you forgotten what she did to me on our wedding day? She hid my tie and made me use a bow tie.""And it was perfect but you don't trust your best friend. That is what is wrong with you. Anyway, if you pour me water, you would owe me 5 million dollars. I would collect it from you. I know you know that.""Eleanor, you still want to bully me on your wedding day? Jeez. People change, why didn't you?" Someone knocked on the door and Emil went to pick it up. "You're not supposed to see your bride before the wedding. They s
Writer's POVHarrison went back to his hotel and tried to think about what he could do for Eleanor. It was a hard task. He knew Eleanor wouldn't just agree to see him just like that. There was nothing he could think of buying that would be catchy to her.He went to bed, hoping the next day would be very good.*** Eleanor walked back and forth to the room. "Again, who invited Harrison? This isn't a joke. Why would one of you invite Harrison without my permission? Why?"Her mother sat on a chair, knitting stockings. "As much as I hate the boy, he still looks handsome. Did you ask him the type of cream he was using?""Mother, this is not funny. Do you know how I felt when I saw him? I was going to lose my mind. Why would you do such things behind my back?"No one was answering her. She sat in the chair, frustratingly shaking her leg. "Well, I think he's a changed person. I heard he built a house for orphans on the streets. It is also said that he is a good man and he let out all his slav
Writer's POVHe held the child's hands and looked around as she led him to a hallway. "Magny? Where are you? Come out now. We have a visitor, he says he bears annoying Harry's name."Harrison laughed. The child was something. He found the plastic horse on the ground. He bent down and showed her the toy. Tada" "Yay! You found Magny." She hugged him. That was when Harrison perceived it. "Thank you, Uncle Harrison. I'll see you later, okay?" She said and ran off. He stood still. He could never mistake it. She smelled exactly like Eleanor. Exactly like Eleanor, he was sure of it. Come to think of it, her hair was also gray and her eyes belonged to Eleanor. If he wasn't hallucinating, then he was running mad. He closed his eyes and turned around. "I need to get them now. Mia, nice, go find Harry. Look for him, I didn't say you should hide and seek…" he heard the voice and the clacking sounds of shoes coming his way. He quickly hid in a corner.The fact that he was there wasn't the probl
Writer's POV*Five years later*"Brother, look at this model. She also sent you a message and you still haven't replied. Why? Do you want to live like this forever? This isn't some Disney movie. I am married and you are not. People are talking," Nikki protested to her brother who was packing his bags. He wasn't paying attention to Nikki and he wasn't interested in doing so. "Brothers I am talking to you, do not ignore me.""Nikki. People are different. Some people love marriages…some don't. I don't. I need to get to the office. I am trying to lead by example."Nikki pursed her lips. "Is this because of Eleanor? Are you still punishing yourself for that? You know you deserve it but this is enough. It's been five years and you are not getting any younger. You need to find someone to get married to and have kids. Who would take care of your company when you are gone?"Harrison was dressed and tired of Nikki. He would do anything to drive her out of his house but he didn't want to push h
Writer's POVHarrison walked around the house, screaming and throwing things apart. How would he explain it to her? She wouldn't even want to hear him out. He was done. He had to accept the fact that he would never have her again. There was no magic for him to perform.*Two hours earlier*Harrison was mild and sad, wondering and planning how he was going to meet Eleanor and get the shit out of her. Someone knocked on his door. The guards opened. For a moment he thought it was going to be Eleanor but instead, it was her friend, Candy.He knew Candy was Eleanor's friend so he thought it would be easy if he sent Candy to Eleanor so that Eleanor would at least mind meeting him."Good morning Mr. Tolstoy. How are you?" Of course, he wasn't fine. All he wanted at the moment was to see Eleanor. "I am fine," he lied. "Eleanor isn't here at the moment and Jay already took his leave. I thought he told you all that?""Oh, dear. I wasn't sure about what he was telling me on the phone and why Elea
Writer's POVEleanor Carol dressed up in black. Luxury Black. She did her makeup and made sure everything was pitch black. She took her bag and headed out of the house. Her destination was a place she didn't want to visit but Emil just reminded her how brutally she was of that place. She entered Tolstoy's apartment. The guards didn't stop her. Every clicking sound of her shoes emitted danger. She wasn't smiling. She went in and went straight to the stables. She didn't care if Harrison was home or not. The moment she saw Magny, the horse neighed happily. I hadn't seen her for a long time. She smiled. At least something was still capable of making her smile. She related the horse. She was taking him home. She found the men that used to be there. They already knew her face so they let her be. Perhaps they had no idea Hendrix was in prison. She caressed the horse and calmed it down. It must have been so lonely staying there alone. There was no Hendrix to take care of him so she was goi
Writer's POV"Mother, you know you don't necessarily need to give Eleanor the princess treatment. You have no idea what she has done to me whenever I was with her in my house. Mother, I have PTSD. She is a scary person. Too scary," Emil grumbled and reported.He was done with his part of the chore and he wanted to sleep like Eleanor. He was just trying to be closer to Eleanor's mother. He understood why Eleanor had to take a break."You are trouble, Emil. If I were Eleanor, I would throw you something hard in the face. you would wonder why I did that to you. Do you want to sleep too or do you just want to disturb me?"Mother was done with her cleaning too, it looked like the whole house was back to being brand new. He followed Mother back to the sitting room. He just wanted to have some time with her. Emil didn't lie about the way she had been approaching and referring to him. When they were kids, she used to be a mother to both of them. She was strict and equally sweet. She would ca
Writer's POVSerena finally had peace of mind. She was back with her family and she had nothing to worry about. Liam was already in prison, nothing could threaten her any more. She felt a little pity for Eleanor. She didn't deserve what she got but Serena was still glad for their lives.This was the calm after the storm. She finished cleaning Jess's room and Eleanor's room. She had a lot to do there but with the music she was listening to, it was all a piece of cake.They all already had breakfast so she went to take her bath. Jess's room was nice and cozy. It was her room now. She had to decorate it the way she wanted and please. First, she needs to get Liam's card. She can't just sit and not gain anything from him just like that.After taking her bath, she called Anderson. She told him she would need his company to go and search Liam's house. Now that they know he has children although both kids were also in prison, they would be out soon and they would want to go and claim their fa
Writer's POVEleanor finally heard what she wanted to hear but why wasn't she happy? Why wasn't she rejoicing? A larger part of her was broken down, thrown into pieces. She regretted taking the case to court. She should have stayed and arrested Mary. She should have just found an alternative rather than being in so much pain to herself.With the things she just went through, she knew it would take her a very long time to love and be loved. She trusted Harrison. She believed almost everything he said, just to figure out he was the reason why she was going through everything she was going through and he was okay with it. He didn't say a word about knowing who she was but he did all along. She watched as Mary was taken away alongside her children. There was no difference in her facial expression. As for Hendrix, he walked majestically past. She trusted him too much too.She thought she had seen a friend but it backfired on her. Eventually, she was left with Emil, the only one who stayed
